After the Abbasids come to power, they faced the challenge of divergence of Alavids, Shi'as, and social legitimacy, among which The Nafs Zakie's Movement was the most important with the widespread social and political reflection amid people, although it did not institutionalize and got failed. In this essay, for evaluating the rate of the impact of each of the social and political factors and comparing the library data, indicators of these factors were identified, and a quantitative method (AHP) was used in four steps to hierarchically analyze The Nafs Zakie's Movement to determine the social and political factors of its failure. The findings show that although this movement was emerged because of the social and political factors in its beginning, and the society became ready to accept the charismatic leadership of Mohammad, but on one hand the social challenge which he faced, made him far away from the society, and on the other hand Caliph’s plans pave the ground to loss of his charismatic position. So in the assessment of The Nafs Zakie's Movement’s failure, social factors exceed the political ones.
